Little League Tournament
Little League Tournaments (or "District Tournaments") are the traditional Little League tournaments from our childhoods. Tournament teams play other leagues in District 10 for the chance to represent Fairfax Little League and District 10 in the Virginia State Little League Tournament. Winners of the state tournament will advance to Regional tournaments, and for the eldest three levels (10-12 Majors, Juniors, Seniors), can advance to the International tournament shown on ESPN.

Special Minors Tournament
Fairfax Little League will also select Baseball Minors Division players (AA and AAA players league age 8-11) for 2 Minors (8-9, 9-11) Tournament teams per division. The Special Minors District 10 Tournament is held in mid-June and ends with the District 10 Championship. These tournaments can be a lot of fun for those players not yet playing at the Majors Level or above. Minor League (AA, AAA) players can also be selected to play on Major Tournament teams, as sometimes there are not enough players at the Majors level to fill a team.
Special Majors Tournament
Fairfax Little League will also select Baseball Majors Division players for a Special Majors Tournament team - one per division. The Special Majors District 10 Tournament is held in mid-June and ends with the District 10 Championship.
Tournament Selection Process
The Fairfax Little League Tournament teams are formed through a competitive selection process detailed in Section 11 of the Fairfax Little League Bylaws. Teams will be announced on or shortly before June 1, with practices and other commitments often starting the day that teams are announced. There is a fee associated with playing on a tournament team, which goes toward partially offsetting tournament expenses, including practice shirts, hats, and jerseys (all of which the player gets to keep)
